Those who saw the new year in at "our section of the beach" in Lincoln County were treated to pounding waves which left long lines of foam for children to kick their way through at the high water mark. The spouting horns at Depoe Bay and Boiler Bay were gathering points for hundreds of brightly-clad "beachcombers," willing to take a duck ing in chilly spray for the privilege of getting close to the source. WINTER'S high tides alter the landscape and seascape so that summertime visitors hardly recognize some of the coast. They fill eveiy cor ner of Siletz Bay with water, crowding in on the low-lying houses at Cutler City. The waves at Taft cross the bar and pound against the seawall of rocks next to the streets of the city. The long line of logs which normally divide that beach into hundreds of little picnic spots bob resignedly in Siletz Bay waiting to be thrown into different abstract patterns along the sand for next summer's visitors. I7URTHER down the coast, the waves surge through the mouth of the Devil's Punch Bowl at Otter Rock. The summer tourist who has look ed into that yawning hole on a dozen different occasions finally sees the swirling waters about which he heard others talk. .,- With a steady wind blowing from the West, the glass ball hunters are out in full force. As early as one gets to the beach in the morning, there is always one or two sets of footprints ahead on the sand. Back they come, early birds, stick in hand, poking into each pile of drifting sand, eyes on the lookout for that glint of green which be trays the hidden glass float. 70R those who were willing to risk a climb on ice-coated rocks, the waves put on a splendid show of violence over the New Year's holiday. The sun was warm enough in mid-day to permit sitting on the beach or rocks to watch the display. Schools of whales frolicked offshore, although the usual clusters of fishing boats were absent. The winter-time recreational uses of the Coast will increase as people come to recognize that sunshine isn't much harder to find there in the winter than in the summer, and in many ways it is even more enjoyable in the "off season." Oregon Statesman, Salem. Oregon Honored-Again Governor Mark Hatfield said yesterday he felt Oregon was honored to have the University of Minnesota hire Dr. O. Meredith Wilson, presi dent of the University of Oregon, as president of the midwestern school. That's one wTay of looking at it. We realize that the $27,000 offered Dr. Wil son by Minnesota can't be matched by the uni versity at Eugene, and we are happy for Dr. Wil son that he can step up to a better job almost the veiy essence of realization of ambition in America. But he follows Dr. Harold M. Erickson, form er state health officer, from the state too closely to promote a feeling of comfort. rR. WILSON is leaving the state, he says, with regrets. Dr. Erickson didn't express too many, despite his many years of service. It was apparent he felt frustrated in his inability to promote good health conditions under current conditions. We hope Dr. Wilson is not covering a similiar situation with bland words. Despite the honor of losing Dr. Wilson to Minnesota and Dr. Erickson to California where he was willing to become assistant in order to find a more favorable climate for performance, we are concerned over this migration of top men to other states. Oregon needs every able and talented man and woman it can get if the state is to progress to the position the state's resources portend. DUT, as someone remarked, we still have Len Casanova, head coach at the university, who turned dowrn a chance to go to the University of California. A good football coach is far more valuable than a university president or a health officer, someone said during a discussion of Wilson's departure. And that must be so, because in many places the coach is paid more than the school president. And money is the American standard of worth. So we get what we pay for, not wThat we need most, perhaps, but what we want most. Coos Bay World. . The Constant Survivor It is not surprising that crab, grass near a nu clear reactor at Dawsonville, Ga., is surviving heavy doses of radiation. Crab grass will survive anything. Strange indeed that science is equipped to destroy the world but cannot lick crab grass. Oh. yes, you can dig it up or kill it off, but w-atch it come back hardy and smirking wrhen the first hot sun hits the lawn ! There is only one wray to deal with crab grass, and that is to admit de feat early in life. A. counsel of. despair, perhaps, but sound. St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Dennis the WANNA 6UY AAy" THOUGHTS FOR A y ?' Letters to the Editor must bear the name and address of the writer, although under certain circumstances the use of a pen name or initial for publication is permissible. The Mail Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters with a view to clarification and condensation. Letters submitted for publication must not exceed 400 words. The letters printed in this column do not necessarily represent the views of the paper; in fact the contrary is often the case. "BB" Film Hit To the Editor: I think the management of the Holly The atre is to be severely criti cized for offering the film that is slated for the coming week end; namely "A Woman Like Satan." Having seen the previews of this lustful picture, having witnessed the part of Bardot that you haven't seen yet, and having blushed with the wom en in our group, I remarked that this would surely be an "adults only" movie. How ever it seems that the man agement considers this such a worthwhile picture that even students and children are to be admitted at bargain prices. No wonder the number of juvenile delinquents and sex perverts multiply, when such rubbish is served to our youth, and in such a matter-of-fact manner. (Name on file) Medford. Safety Hazard To the Editor: I had always thought Medford a very "safety conscious" city. Par ticularly in the schools. That is why I was surprised and slightly shocked to see the obvious violations at Hed rick Junior High school last Thursday night. The Globetrotters were wonderful, but I am sure many people felt uneasy to see the aisles, stairs and exits blocked by people unable to find seats. , Surely there is some answer to this problem before Med ford adds its name to the list of cities that waited too long. Mrs. Paul Norris 1481 Ridgeway dr. Medford Error Corrected To the Editor: In reading through the article in Friday's issue of the Tribune covering the report which I made to the County Council of P.T.A. on the work of the Interim Committee on Education, I note an error which I would like to correct. The survey being conduct ed to determine quality of ed ucation and administrative practices will include 50 first class districts, 50 second class districts, and 50 third class dis tricts. Apparently one line of type was inadvertently omit ted, since the article mentions only the 50 first class dis tricts. To persons who are fa miliar with the educational problems'of Oregon, this would make a good deal of difference in their opinion of the validity of the survey. Evelyn Nye State Representative Medford Thanks. Good People To the Editor: We thought the time of old fashioned neighborliness and generosity were a thing of the past until recently when our home burned to the ground. Christmas Day, when we were called by telephone at a relatives home and told our home was completely destroy ed by fire, it seemed that nothins could be worse. Now, just three weeks later, we are at home again in a brand new house, built entirely by the donated labor of our many relatives, friends and neigh bors. All the materials were either donated or bought with gifts of money. The aDDeal of the Medford Mail Tribune, the local Naz- arene churches, the Southern Pacific employees, and friends, relatives and neigh bors have more than ade- auatelv suDDlied us with household goods, furniture and clothing. It has been a wondrful and gratifying feeling .V know Menace "X I IP I"1 that people really still have an interest in their fellow man. Our mere "thank you" seems so small after all that has been done for us, but we do wish to thank each and every one of you who has helped us so generously and may God extend to each of you a special blessing. Mr. and Mrs. Eustace Arthur and family, Route 1, Box 660, Eagle Point, Ore. A Paradox To the Editor: It is not only sad reading, but well high im possible to understand, in a news story in Wednesday's Mail Tribune that tells of President Eisenhower's plea to Congress and the Ameri can people to lock the stable door, after the horse has been stolen, when he asks us all to gird up to fight inflation. The ink is scarce dry on the contract that Vice Presi dent Nixon, using all the power of his high office, verg ing as it does into the Presi dency, to wring from the pro testing Steel companies a bil lion dollar wage and fringe benefit , wage raise spread over three years for the vote rich steel labor union leaders. Why should the steel in dustry be in the national dog house? They were but 'grimly following Ike's plea of less than a year ago for industry at large to hold down wage demands and prices of their products. Does he regard us a bunch of gullible morons to be swayed this way and that way, as FBR once loved to do in his chatty fireside double talking - like, "our boys will nevah, nevah fight on foreign soil"? That was a mighty guide-post we should have remembered and heed ed. To show my stand on this is not a lonely one, here is the last paragraph by that dedicatedly courageous edi tor of the U.S. News and World Report, David Lawr ence, writing on the steel strike 'settlement': "The new decade opens with a new defeat of the pub lic interest by those politi cians in labor and govern ment who prefer a temporary prosperity in 1960 to the sound measures that could have spared America a de pression in 1961." F. J. Clifford Route 2, Box 200F Central Point, Ore. On Tax Equity To the Editor: It was nice to have. you take off your-coat and administer a good' editor ial beating to that 23rd Con stitutional . amendment idea that has been circulating around here lately. It proposes several drastic changes in government prac tices, all of them radically wrong. To liquidate several hundred indispensible gov erments functions in three years time would demoralize the country. Most of these things private industry couldn't or wouldn't do. Who in private industry would buy the government held surplus grains and then dispose of them at a loss? Or what could be done about bringing agricultural produc tion and consumption into bal ance without breaking the farmer and throwing the econ omy of the country into a tailspin? There are 1,160,000, 000 acres of farm land in the country, every acre of which has an owner with an invest ment in it and paying taxes on it. There is a tremendous potential there to over-pro duce the American market. What is private 'industry go- lng to do about so huge an un dertaking? Three years is a wholly in adequate time for the government- to dispose of its big property holdings.. Such forced and hasty sales would be mostly -at ' bargain -prices and leave the government without its property or its cash equivalent. Big society means big government and big spending, and these who don't like it will have to flee society and live' like hermits in caves in the deserts or mountains somewhere. It would repeal the Income Tax amendment. Talk about biting ihe hand that feeds you. That amendment brought order out of chaos and sense out of nonsense in federal tax matters. With: the cost of war taking 60 per cent of the national j budget (548,000,000,000)1 where is the money to" come from if not from an income tax? With" the federal gov ernment taking S-125 ' annu ally ircm every man, woman and child, it must come 'from the wealth of the country ana not from the people, for many people just don't have' it. With tax" dodging as prevalent as it is, the income t tax law needs tightening up, not loosening up.. It's high taxes, not income taxes, that should make us mad. Without income taxis, tax shirking would be easier. It would be generai.

Asks "Resl Cass" To the Editor: Thus far, through generalization and in nuendo, you have sought to discredit both the idea of," and the people behind, the propos ed 23rd Amendment; but if you have a real case to pre sent in favor of defeating this amendment, now would seem a good time to present it. In deed, you would perpetrate a grave injustice to your read ers if -you do not soon offer soma argumentative proof for your conclusions. During any -- research you might choose to do Into this question, investigate if you will," the history and philoso phy of Mr. "Lippmann. You may find it difficult, if not impossible, to recognize any differences between I.Ir..Lipp mann's views and the most es sential tenets of Socialism. Again, you seem to have missed the point concerning Mr. Lee's and Mr. Stone's re-marks7- about foreign aid.' TKe present plant to be sure, would be terminated; but no one has the intention of side-stepping this wealthy -nation's respon sibility of ' Christian Charity tothe destitute peoples of the world. Under the present for eign aid of Government to Government, the money has been dissipated with little or no improvement of the condi tion of the people. And fur ther, in this thought, such aid would be immeasurably more productive, and more rightly belongs, not to private enter prise as we use the term, but to private charitable- organi zations, because they work in the spirit of true Christian Love and benevolence. The condition of the world should be proof enough for now that governments have not worked in any such spirit of benevo lence, or love. Leave -us remember now, taxes can be cruel ' and "un-' just. And in times of provid ing for national defense, a tax of 100 per cent might offer no guarantee of an adequate de fense mechanism. This would especially hold true when ap plied to our present problem of basic military disagreement on preparation and strategy, coupled with waste, duplica tion of research and develop ment, and other inefficiencies. All questions of taxation have proven to be difficult, and fraught with stifling dan gers (least of all, .are "these questions self answerable," Mail Tribune 1-21-60), for these questions are concerned with main's right to private property. Now vast accumula tion of private fortunes should be discouraged.and in this the Government must .consult the. common good in-ownership regulations; but under no con ditions may a government leg islate it out of .existence. -- ; Thank you for your time.

It has been losing membership and prestige, however, and party boss Palmiro Togliatti is. expected to use Gronchi's I Icseow visit as a springboard lor an attempt to restore pcrty fortunes.

Jac ques Massu, darling of the re bellious French settlers in Al geria, lie served stern notice that there would be no change in his "liberal policy" toward Algeria and his promise of eventual self - determination. Last week, Be Gaulle re marked to a visitor, "you can even send paratroops to the couraged. As for socialism, it is a scare-word. Public schools are pure socialism. Shall we do away with them for that reason? Frss Enterprise To the Editor: The 23rd Amendment is a tear- sheet from the U.S. Chamber, of Commerce files.' It. and some cf "its members are probably the worst violators of that part of America's Free Enter prise system, "so long as it does not abrogate or deny -the right's Of others." For ; years the capitalistic U.S. C. of C. has fought for control . of all of America's natural resources, Indian lands, oil, timber, grazing. Special interests, "legalized" by paid, politicians, have re duced free enterprise to free plunder by the most powerful It"" has created Rockefeller, Y'eyerhaeuser, et al, gods of wealth and power (the gods now in a dilemma - fear); all the world in the worst con fusion ever known. So by one great swoop while the world is in this confusion, the des troyers hope to make a kill ing. To hell with the public. In the past 50 to 100 years private special' interests have hi-graded and stripped Ameri ca of nearly all its forests, left millions of acres of scorched earth; mills were closed, men idled; grazing lands over grazed and ruined; other na tural resources "were ruinous ly wasted by hi-grading for big profits; land eroded by floods to droughts and deserts; streams polluted, dried up; watertables dropping, wells dry. Not the fault of free en terprise, but abuse of it by that powerful gang. ' Jan. 15, 1779, George Wash ington appealed . to Patrick Henry to come ' forth and help save, the Colonies from the pertinacious, persistant, selfish, special interests." In 1260s Ignatious Donnelly, member of. Congress (one of America's forgotten great men) warned the Congress -"the unbridled greed of big business and its corruptive in fluence on. politicians is caus ing the people to not even vote, and seek relief in com munism." May 13, 1908, T.R. warned: "We are over the verge of a timber famine. It should be prohibitive for the nation or the states to cut any more timber except it be under a provision where the next generation shall see the timber increased instead of diminished." Dec. 12 and 13, 1D39 the manager of the West Coast Lumber Co. was called before a Congressional com mittee and asked why such destruction of the forests. He said, "because the owners of that timber have no faith that it .will be worth anything 20 years from now, (December, 1959). And being businessmen, feel they have no other course than to cut it before it de teriorates any more." John E. Gribble 139 Kenwood ave.

De Gaulle has a radio TV address scheduled for Jan. 29, and in it is expected to reiterate his '"self-determination" policy and his assurance to French settlers that they will not be "sold out." But he is expected to have little suc cess persuading the colonists who once more are saying it is only a choice between '"the suitcase and the coffin" -meaning get out or die. Dispute Among Friends The Western Allies still have not reached agreement on the stand they will take when they meet with Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev yashfiiqtora Report fey By WILLIAM PRICKLY' DeGAULLE Washington Now that a few voices in France are dar ing to question the lofty and r- -"-v'' heretofore un- it challenged au- ; , t h o r i t y of I Charles D e- -k .) uauue, it xV" might be sup s -'I posed that this .s-' tail ana lrost ' ' bitten old pa- Y l triot would become a bit less demand- William S White ing with his allies. But there is reason to be - lieve that General DeGaulle is coming here to meet Presi dent Eisenhower on April 22 more convinced than ever that his is the one correct opinion among the Allied leaders. Information of a confiden tial but completely responsi ble nature suggests, indeed, that once again we shall see proof of an old French say ing: the more things change the more they ' remain the same. President DeGaulle's power.base in France has cer tainly been changed. He has suffered rebellions in the cab inet and new threats of dis obedience from among some of the military men. : - A LL the same, his view is unchanged except strong-er-that the other Western al lies must take their cue from his thinking in dealing with the cold war. Some of the reasons for all this rest on purely" impersonal facts of world politics. DeGaulle is deeply annoyed and distressed that-the United States has not given the sup port which he thought Presi dent Eisenhower had prom ised to give to France's policy for ending the Algerian rev olution. This irritation has grown, not eased, since Mr. Eisenhower's goodwill call on DeGaulle in Paris a few weeks ago. Lrenerai ueLrautle, more over, is increasingly upset at the continued American re fusal to give genuine atomic help to this undoubtedly vital ally in the heart of Europe. Finally, he is more and more sensitive to suggestions that his main purpose in life is simply to restore France's grandeur." This view which is widely held both here and in London, is not merely an noying to DeGaulle; it is deep ly resented. There is every probability that this resent ment' will be frankly express ed in private when the French President meets the Ameri can President. . TkeGAULLE and his people " feel that the accusation of A Gratifying Assurance COMPLETE When your world is turned upside down, turn with confidence to us where every provision is made for complete service. A fine funeral service nppA nof- hp pxrsensivc!. S falian on the subject of Berlin. Last spring the West proposed an interim agreement in which an Allied troop reduction in Berlin and a curb on anti-" Communist propaganda broadcasts would be consider ed in return for Soviet agree ment to preserve the status quo between West Berlin and ' Communist East Berlin. West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer now has vetoed that plan and the United States, Britain and France have failed to come up with a substitute. The task of per suading Adenauer to yield on the issue may fall to President Eisenhower when he meets the Chancellor early in March. S. WHITE more grandeur-seeking is not only nonsense. Worse yet, they feel it is a kind of fab-. ricated retort, because critics have no better one, to the fact that DeGaulle is alone among top Western statesmen in looking at cold war reali ties straight in the face. But beneath these imper sonal explanations for a hard ening in DeGaulle's position toward his allies there are more subtle reasons. One is that DeGaulle actually feels that in dealing with Eisen- jhower he is dealing with a rather junior officer. He has no great confidence in Eisen hower's high strategic ideas probably because Charles De- Uraune naa me status of a high commander while Dvvight Eisenhower was still a lieutenant colonel. The human factors in world politics are hardly less hu man than in school-board pol itics. DeGaulle is distinctly not enchanted with that fav orite line of the White House publicity men about "the old comrade-in-arms" himself and Eisenhower. A GAIN, the French soldiers-President is impatient with what he considers the mere details of foreign policy. He wants to think only of the grand sweep. He has, for ex ample, taken up the notion that the West should concert with the Soviet Union on some pilot-model scheme of joint aid to neutral underde veloped lands. The United States and Britain, for their part, would be delighted if some far less grand but real concert should be actually obtained just within the West itself. And again, DeGaulle is wholly convinced that what he calls "the Anglo-Saxon bloc" meaning the United States and Britain-have some sort of a private club to which he is not admitted. Washing ton and London would be most pleased if they got along one-fifth so well and so auto matically as he thinks they do. So in all this situation only one forecast is clear: this is that General Dwight Eisen hower, is going to be in for a vigorous time of it when he sits down here in April with General Charles Andre Joseph DeGaulle.
